Can dogs sense when we are frightened?
Oh hell yes! We give off different scents for different emotional states that not only can dogs pick up on and understand what the emotion is, but so can most other animals…Horses too can tell! Exotics…birds…WE are the ones limited in our ability to smell fear more than any other creature out there! Animals also tend to read our BODY language better than most of us do. This is why sometimes you’ll have a situation where there is a person who “seems” ok, like a nice regular sort of person…but your DOG or CAT, or Horse…DOES NOT LIKE THEM AT ALL.
